Keep reading to find out where you should head on your next lucky vacation.
Aries Rising: Las Vegas
Celebrity visitor: Kendall Jenner
“Aries rising is energised by spontaneity, excitement and their natural fire energy. They’re happiest in destinations where they can act on impulse, embrace new experiences and feel like anything is possible,” explained Antonella. And what better place to try something new than Las Vegas? The gambling mecca of Sin City has long been associated with luck. But even if you don’t hit it big at the casinos, the city’s energy means it’s the perfect place to embrace new opportunities.
“I love coming here and just having a good time,” Jenner told Extra when discussing her love of Vegas.
Taurus Rising: Naples, Italy
Celebrity visitors: Dua Lipa and Callum Turner
“Taurus rising is drawn to comfort, beauty, and life’s little luxuries. They feel most fulfilled in destinations where they can slow down, indulge their senses, and savor every experience rather than rushing from one attraction to the next,” Antonella shared.
Naples is also the birthplace of the cornicello, Italy’s famous red horn charm believed to ward off bad luck and attract prosperity. Perhaps that’s why Dua Lipa and Callum Turner chose this perennially popular destination for their recent honeymoon.
Gemini Rising: Bangkok, Thailand
Celebrity visitor: Anthony Bourdain
“Gemini rising is endlessly curious and thrives on variety. Their ideal destination keeps them discovering, learning, and exploring, with plenty of opportunities to experience something new around every corner,” Antonella said.
Bustling Bangkok certainly fits the bill. Thailand’s largest city attracts millions of curious tourists every year. One celeb who loved the city was Anthony Bourdain, who praised Bangkok’s vibrant and diverse food culture.
Cancer Rising: Kyoto, Japan
Celebrity visitor: Jessica Alba
“Cancer rising seeks emotional comfort and a strong sense of belonging. They’re drawn to destinations that feel warm, welcoming and rooted in tradition, where they can slow down and feel truly at home,” Antonella shared.
Kyoto is one of Japan’s spiritual heartlands. Visitors draw omikuji fortune slips at temples and purchase omamori charms believed to bring protection, prosperity, and good luck. Actress Jessica Alba has visited Kyoto multiple times and loves the city’s peaceful vibe.
“The Kiyomizu-dera temple was otherworldly,” she told Vanity Fair. “Meditating in its beautiful gardens was beyond blissful.”
Leo Rising: Monte Carlo, Monaco
Celebrity visitors: Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton
“Leo rising loves destinations where they can shine. They’re naturally drawn to places with glamour, celebration and a touch of luxury, where every moment feels worthy of the spotlight,” noted Antonella.
For anyone who wants to rub elbows with the rich and famous, Monte Carlo is the place. Long associated with glamour and fame, it attracts hordes of celebrities for events like the Monaco Grand Prix. Attendees at this year’s Formula 1 race included lucky driver Lewis Hamilton (who finished second) and his glam girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.
Virgo Rising: Prague, Czech Republic
Celebrity visitor: Katy Perry
“Virgo rising enjoys travelling with purpose. They feel most fulfilled by destinations rich in history, culture and hands-on experiences that leave them feeling they’ve learnt something new,” Antonella shared
Travelers to Prague can participate in traditions such as touching the statue of St John of Nepomuk on Charles Bridge, which is believed to bring good luck and ensure you’ll one day return to the city. Perhaps singer Katy Perry touched the statue – she visited Prague in 2018 with her then-husband, Orlando Bloom. In 2025, she returned, combining a performance with some sightseeing in the famously picturesque city.
Libra Rising: Rome, Italy
Celebrity visitor: Jennifer Lopez
“Libra rising is naturally drawn to beauty, balance and romance. They feel most inspired by destinations that are visually stunning, peaceful and effortlessly elegant,” Antonella said. And what place is more elegant and romantic than the Eternal City?
Visitors to Rome often toss a coin into the famous Trevi Fountain in the hopes of either returning to the city, finding love, or getting married. No word on whether Jennifer Lopez took part in that tradition on her recent visit to Rome with her twins. The trio visited Italy on a family vacation before the teens head off to college in the fall.
Scorpio Rising: Marrakech, Morocco
Celebrity visitor: Madonna
“Scorpio rising is drawn to destinations with mystery, depth and a sense of transformation. They’re inspired by places that encourage them to look beneath the surface and experience something truly unforgettable,” Antonella said.
The Morroccan city of Marrakech is rich in folklore surrounding protection and good fortune, with Hamsa symbols and evil eye charms displayed throughout its colourful souks to ward off negative energy. Hidden riads, ancient traditions and bustling markets add to the city’s mysterious atmosphere. Those qualities may have drawn the spiritually curious Madonna to the city. The pop icon and her family rang in 2026 in the city.
Sagittarius Rising: Kathmandu, Nepal
Celebrity visitor: Richard Gere
“Sagittarius rising has an adventurous spirit and a love of freedom. They thrive in destinations that reward curiosity, spontaneous detours, and the thrill of discovering somewhere unexpected,” Antonella explained.
Visitors to Kathmandu can experience sacred stupas, spinning prayer wheels, and centuries-old Buddhist traditions centred around generating positive karma and inviting good fortune. A visit to Kathmandu and Nepal was particularly impactful for Richard Gere. He traveled to the region in the late 1970s, which led to his decision to become a practicing Tibetan Buddhist.
Capricorn Rising: Singapore
Celebrity visitor: Park Shin-Hye
“Capricorn rising appreciates history, tradition and a strong sense of heritage. They’re naturally drawn to destinations that reflect ambition, craftsmanship and timeless achievement,” noted Antonella.
Singapore incorporates Feng Shui principles into many of its famous buildings and public spaces, reflecting long-held beliefs around prosperity, harmony and success. Combined with its impressive skyline and reputation for innovation, the city embodies ambition. It’s become a popular destination for visitors, particularly Asian celebrities like Park Shin-Hye. In June, the Korean actress was spotted visiting Singapore with her husband and son.
Aquarius Rising: Reykjavík, Iceland
Celebrity visitors: Kourtney Kardashian
“Aquarius rising is inspired by innovation, creativity and fresh ways of thinking. They’re happiest exploring destinations that feel progressive, unconventional, and a little different from anywhere else,” Antonella said.
Icelandic folklore features stories of the huldufólk, or hidden people, believed to bring luck to those who respect nature. Meanwhile, many associate the Northern Lights with wonder and blessings. Kourtney Kardashian went on a quest to see the famed celestial event during a 2020 trip to Iceland with her sister Kim and many friends, but she went home disappointed. Better luck next time!
Pisces Rising: Bali, Indonesia
Celebrity visitors: Barack and Michelle Obama
“Pisces rising is deeply intuitive and seeks destinations that nourish the soul. They’re naturally drawn to places with a mystical atmosphere, peaceful surroundings, and experiences that encourage reflection and spiritual connection,” Antonella said.
Bali, known for it’s gorgeous scenery and beautiful beaches, has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most spiritual destinations. Travelers may take part in temple blessings, purification rituals, and daily offerings believed to attract protection, harmony, and positive energy. For many, it’s a place to find peace and renewal, which may have been what Barack Obama and his family were seeking when they visited Bali shortly after his second term as president ended.
